הגדרה (אנגלית)

By metaphor: one who wavers about the matter. Hesitates. Incapable of deciding (literal: holding in his hand both the yes and the no in a relaxed manner).

("What is the honor of the upper and the honor of the lower? No and no, and there is a cure in her hand." Rashi: "And there is a cure in her hands - the remedy in his mouth was a cure, whether to forbid or to permit" - Shabbat 13:1).
